His passion for art began at an early age. He followed his dream
by earning
a B.A. in Art from the University of Utah.
He owned a successful architectural illustration company for
12 years.
During that time, he rekindled his love for studio and plein
air oil painting.
Since 2007, Brent has devoted his full-time energy to oil painting.
He travels internationally for inspiration. Many of his compositions
result from
numerous paint trips throughout America.

Living in Northern California also affords Brent many opportunities
to paint
cityscapes, landscapes and seascape scenes. Fresh flowers, fruit
and various vessels collected over the years create his inspiration
for his still life oil paintings.

Brent is a featured artist in the book, Oil Painting with the
Masters and has
published articles in International Artist, SouthwestArt, Art
of the West and
American Art Collector magazines.

He is frequently included in National competitions with art clubs
such as the
American Impressionist Society (signature member); the American
Society
of Marine Artists (signature member); and Oil Painters of America.

He leads paint demonstrations at art clubs and through workshops.
As a traditional Impressionist style oil painter, his painting
technique uses
a loose approach, limited palette, and objective perspective.
This allows any two viewers to interpret one of his paintings
differently.

He believes a properly selected composition that is well-executed
brings
a lifetime of enjoyment to a collector.
